The Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Aeronautics) with Honours is offered either on a fulltime or part-time basis. The full-time programme is offered only at the UTM Main Campus in 
Johor Bahru while the part-time programme is offered at various learning centres throughout 
Malaysia. The duration of study for the full-time programme is subjected to the student’s entry 
qualification and lasts between four (4) years to a maximum of six (6) years.
The programme is offered on full-time basis and is based on a 2-Semester per academic 
session. Generally, students are expected to undertake courses equivalent to between fifteen 
(15) to eighteen (18) credit hours per semester. Assessment is based on course works and 
final examinations given throughout the semester. 

Graduates of this programme are essentially Mechanical Engineers but those with 
specialisation to Aeronautical Engineering can easily find job opportunities in various sectors. 
Alternatively, they can also be known as Aeronautical Engineers depending on their job 
placements in industries, they are in.
The Aeronautical Engineering programme at UTM is offered as a specialisation of mechanical 
engineering and covers five main areas namely aerodynamics, aircraft Structure, flight 
dynamics and control, propulsion and aircraft design. Thus, graduates of this programme 
satisfy the requirement to graduate as an engineer in Mechanical Engineering as well as in 
the field of specialisation in aeronautics. Apart from TUDM, the Civil Aviation Department 
requires trained manpower to supervise flying activities in Malaysia. Other organisations that 
require graduates in the field of aeronautics include Malaysia Airline System, AirAsia, AIROD, 
Eagle Aircraft, SME Aviation, Malaysia Helicopter Services (MHS), TLDM and PDRM Air Unit. 
Several other firms also have working opportunities in the airline industry
